Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
It was eucalyptus. Just a few drops.
This is not a cure for RI but rather a good support activity to aid the snake in fighting with its own immune system. Anti biotics do not fix viral infections. No pill to cure a cold so to speak. Don't be shocked if your snake spews up a little crud whennusing this but I must say I was amazed at the difference this silly little treatment made.

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
Well, did the treatment. Think all of our lungs are open now. There was some white discharge in the bottom when I got him out. Don't know which end it came from though. The vet called and said we should tube feed him if he doesn't eat by Friday. Beginning to think they're kind of off a little. Just my opinion.

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
just to clarify, because I didn't find it when I read back through the posts, but when did he eat last?

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
He hasn't eaten in 3 1/2 weeks now. He shed real nice last night after the "sauna" treatment and looks great this morning. Have to see how he's breathing and see if he'll eat tonight after shedding.

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
Yay! Awesome, glad he shed! Hopefully this helps to clear up his issues and you start noticing a change with his breathing

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
3 weeks is nothing. Your vet is "off" 3 months and I still wouldn't tube feed yet. The weight of the snake is the deciding factor not the calendar.
Hope it all works out. Keep us updated.

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
Thanks all. Last Friday, he weighed 126 grams. Don't know if that's normal for a yearling or not.

Re: Help!! Lung Infection!
Got him out tonight and he looks like he's been through the dishwasher!!! He was scooting around so much, I couldn't get a picture of him while he was running around. I didn't notice how he wasn't using his tongue to smell either while this was going on. No popping noise, no redness on his belly scales and he's running around like a champ. I CANNOT thank you guys enough for helping with this and saving me from spending a lot more money for nothing.
Also, I sent the vet the video that was shared. Maybe they will get something out of it.
This is the only picture I could get before he completely disappeared under the bedding.
